(I would add, “especially if you grew up in a conservative Evangelical church.)

3. Sex is not a reflection of your value as a person.
But to get to this place, sex must be removed from its pedestal as an badge of either honor or shame in our culture. As long as boys are shamed for not succeeding in getting laid and girls are shamed for succeeding in getting laid too often, then boys will continue to have an incentive to manipulate girls into situations where consent is ambiguous and girls will continue to have incentive to manipulative boys into situations where they feel unworthy or powerless. Nobody wins in this arrangement.
